UniMPA links task-relevant visual transitions to executable robot actions. It uses future-supervised transition representations to retrieve temporally aligned visual-action experience, then refines retrieved action prototypes through flow generation rather than replaying them. In zero-shot LIBERO-Plus perturbations, it achieves an 85.3% average success rate across seven perturbation dimensions, versus 73.6% for π0.5. This benchmark result does not establish guaranteed physical feasibility.

Key insights

  • Explicitly modeling intended visual transitions, rather than just future observations, is crucial for resolving ambiguity and guiding action generation in robotic manipulation.
  • Grounding future predictions in historically executable visual-action experience, through a bidirectionally aligned memory, significantly bridges the prediction-execution mismatch.
  • Refining actions by biasing a flow-matching process with retrieved, contextually adapted action prototypes leads to more robust and generalized manipulation policies.
